Non-slip bath coating for Selsey homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Selsey

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Selsey

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Selsey?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace in Selsey?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we are called out for in Selsey

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Selsey

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
